Now that the fall season is in its advent, it would do well for the stylish to have rounded up their most fashionable and yet also practical essentials for the cold season.
Among the most common of staples for the autumn-winter wardrobe of any savvy fashionista and stylista are boots, leggings, stockings, tights, scarves, sweaters, turtlenecks, leather (whether pants, gloves, boots, or jacket), and other warm clothing that can be worn to perfection with some really clever and stylish ideas for full-on chic autumn regalia.
A good theme to keep for this season is to not go overboard with the neutral and somber colors- sure, to keep up with the mood of the season (and for functional purposes as well, of course), wearing clothing in dark colors is alright and in fact downright practical but that unmistakably unique and attractive punch of color, that part of the outfit that must still have some character to it must not be forgotten in this mix of dark, somber and neutral. In the middle of all the seriousness and cover-ups, something must still make an outfit stand out. The goal of this season is to make one part stand out in contrast to the near-minimal coloring of the rest
One great styling tip for this season is the chic combination of knitted dresses with really dashing bags to add that hint of class to an otherwise comfy-casual top. For this cold season, a knitted mini-dress or body-hugging sweater in beige, white or light clean color would look really beautiful paired with sheer black tights or leggings and a pair of gray or neutral-colored boots (flat soles would be preferable for this look, as well as ankle-length or mid-calf-length boots). The spotlight would be given to the choice of handbag to add that touch of glam to the outfit. A bag in a bright or catchy color or design would accentuate that comfy neutrality of the rest of the outfit and instantly give it that punch of dashing chic to it. Black or gray ballet flats could also do the trick.
Another style tip for this fall season would be to pair a bold top or bold shorts/skirt with a classic neutral-colored top/ bottom. A good example would be to wear a simple white top with sheer stretch lace for a neckline and sleeves then to wear a high frilly flowery skirt over this in shades of dark blue, red, or purple, to be fastened with a belt by the waist. This should look okay without leggings or tights but for the purposes of the season, sheer black tights and ankle-length boots or high-heeled pumps would do.
For skinny jeans, a new trend for this season is the pairing of these grungy, tough-looking worn jeans with something more demure and feminine like a whimsical jacket with feminine designs and soft, easy tailoring. This contrast softens the rocker chic vibe and gives it a very lady-like and classier feel.
And of course, one fashion staple for this fall that definitely must not be overlooked is the classic camel coat. Time and time again, season after season, this apparel could go with almost anything in almost anyone's wardrobe with almost anyone's taste or style goals. The camel coat can go from elegant and lady-like, to professional and classy, to tough and sophisticated, to minimalist, to casual. It is that versatile that it can complement almost any style and this is what makes it so enduring.
So for this season, make sure that you are armed with these important tips on what to buy, what to wear, and how to wear it, to ensure not only comfort, but style as well.
